Lynn Miller: Going My Way, Retired Memphis Firefighter

Going My Way – My Guest, Retired Memphis Firefighter, Mr. Lynn Miller. “There are all these moments you think you won’t survive, and then you survive.” In 1971, the world was very different than the one we know today.  I know that hitchhiking is very taboo in today’s world, but back in the early 70’s hitchhiking was a common way of traveling across America. My guest this week, Mr. Lynn Miller had just finished Air Force tech school in Wichita Falls, Texas, and had started his long journey from Texas to Tennessee via his thumb out.  Originally, he had planned to fly back home but after someone broke into his locker at tech school and stole all of his money he decided to just hitchhike home.  Wanting to surprise his family on his return he decided to keep his trip home a secret. Most of us can admit that at the age of 19 we often don’t make the best of decisions.  In this case, Lynn could get some grace from the fact that hitchhiking was an accepted form of travel during that time.  Starting out early in the morning he started his long, arduous trip of over 1000 miles.  He shares how the majority of his trip was mostly uneventful chipping away at the distance little by little until he found himself less than 22 miles from his house when things took an incredible turn. At approximately a day and a half into his trip it was about 2am when he found himself being kidnapped by 4 men and brought to a cabin in the Appalachian Mountains.  His daring escape will leave you on the edge of your seat.  You do not want to miss this week’s incredible story of survival and how he has used his second chance at life to have a huge impact for others.
